How did they fix it?

Bank account interest is pretty much always less than inflation. So, money sitting in a bank account for 18 years is just losing value.

I have no idea how well such a system works, but, I found these lines pretty jarring:

> They found it fires on ordinary driving, not just distracted driving.

> Glance away from an empty highway to take in the scenery, or look at the infotainment screen to change a song, and the warning goes off anyway.

Like, isn't that the point, that if you aren't looking at the road it should go off?

If you don't like the debian model, didn't use debian. There are people that like the debian model, it seems like you aren't one of them, though. That doesn't make them wrong.

My understanding is that existing Ebay shareholders would get half cash and half stock. In order to actually profit, those shareholders would need to believe that the combined company's stock could be sold off without taking a significant loss.

I strongly suspect that its not feasible to colocate pijul and git. git and jj are based on snapshots, while pijul is based on patches. They have very different models.

One thing JJ has that git doesn't is the concept of first class conflicts. In JJ, rebasing or merging never fails, but it might record a conflict to resolve later. Git, on the otherhand, forces you to drop we everything to resolve conflicts immediately. It sounds like a small thing - but in my experience, being able to resolve conflicts later when I feel like it is absolutely amazing and really helps reduce context switching.

You are supposed to supervise Tesla FSD. Waymo doesn't require someone in the driver's seat at all. They aren't the same thing.

The problem, IMO, with asyncio is that its way, way too complicated. In my experience, anyio (https://github.com/agronholm/anyio) provides a much better interface on top of asyncio. And since it can use asyncio as a backend, it maintains compatibility with the asyncio ecosystem. FastAPI, for example, uses anyio.

One thing that I don't see being mentioned in any of the threads here talking about green threads is cancellation. A huge benefit, IMO, of anyio is that it makes cancellation really easy to handle. With asyncio, cancellation is pretty hard. And with green threads, cancellation is often impossible.

I'm not dismissing uv, I'm critiquing the article.
